The Loved One

Chapter 44

-Yuzu

I gasp for breath as Athena, or as I should say, Katerina, towers over me. Wait! I should back up a couple hours. Okay, so I sit up on the couch, as I look around the room. There stands Athena, staring at a picture.

"Athena?" I yawn. "Why didn't you wake me up?"

"Why? Was I supposed to?" she asks me, as if she's in a trance.

I walk behind her, and look at the picture. It's a picture of her mother.

"Do you miss her?" I ask, as I study the picture.

Her mother looks just like she did before she turned, but her mother has blonde hair, and looks older.

"Yeah... she was the best. I miss her a lot." Athena smiles, sadly.

Her mother had died two years ago. I had never met the woman, though, but I can imagine what she was like.

"Let's go out to eat for breakfast!" I cheer, as I put a shirt on.

Yeah, don't judge me, I think my body's sexy, so I like to show it. Nah, just kidding, I like sleeping without a shirt on, and if I forget to take it off before I fall asleep, I take it off while I'm asleep. But don't worry! I still wear a bra.

"Yuzu?" Athena asks, with something strange in her voice.

"Yeah, Athena?" I turn to look at her.

She has her bangs casting a shadow over her face, so it's hard to tell what emotions are going through her eyes.

"What would you do if I was the daughter of your enemy?" she asks me, and I stand there shocked. "How would you treat me?"

"..." I stand there in shock, until I find my voice. "I-I wouldn't treat you any different, why would you ask that?"

"What if I told you that I was helping your enemy?" she looks up, and her eyes are redder than usual.

"Well, I would be disappointed in you," I sigh.

"Yuzu. I have something to tell you." Athena frowns.

"Let me guess, you're name's Katerina Williams, your father is Matt Williams, and you're helping him and his friends escape." I add, frowning.

"How'd you know?" she asks, in shock.

"I had a dream," I shrug.

"I'm sorry, Yuzu," she tackles me to the ground.
